Blood Sampling Laboratory Animals | VAMS™ Microsampling Alternative

Mouse Blood Collection With Mitra Microsampling Technology

Save Time, Save Labor, Promote The 3Rs

Compared to wet blood collection from mice, dried blood microsampling is simpler, more economical, and more effective.

• Reduce animal usage by sevenfold

• Generate better data with reduced stress

• Sample the same animal at multiple time points and improve data consistency by reducing inter-animal variability

• Eliminate dependence on satellite populations

• Eliminate steps, processing, and equipment without sacrificing data quality

• Prepare for growth and change when you implement a rat tail vein blood collection workflow

Download your complimentary package of research and resources confirming the viability of microsampling technology, along with our current list of analytes extracted from the Mitra device.  Here's some of what you'll discover:

• Facilitates more robust and consistent sampling technique

• Compares with conventional methodologies for in vivo pharmacokinetic pre-clinical studies in rodents

• Compares with traditional blood sampling techniques for pre-clinical research involving blood collection from rats and mice (including a large molecule application of Volumetric Absorptive Microsampling for the determination of a single-rodent PK profile for exenatide by LC-MS/MS)

• Reduces animal usage by sevenfold and eliminates reliance on satellite populations without sacrificing data quality

The free resource bundle includes background information on microsampling techology, case studies confirming its viability in preclinical animal research, and ideas for its implementation. 

What Are The 3Rs And Why
do They Matter?

Better & safer medical products, have come about from preclinical research. The time has come to improve the welfare of these life-saving animals.

Medical Breakthroughs Made Possible by Animal Research

The beginnings of pharmacology and physiology, and the understanding of hemodynamics all have their roots in animal testing.
